CERTIFICATION: REALISING POTENTIAL

ISO
9001

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

ISO 9001 certification is well established around the world as an invaluable Quality Management System standard. It is suitable for organisations in all industry sectors and will help your organisation to improve management processes to compete locally and/or globally.

The process encompassed the entire organisation and to achieve ISO 9001 certification, we needed to demonstrate that we could meet the regulatory requirements and apply the system effectively to be of real benefit to our customers.

ISO
14001

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

In a world where sustainability and corporate responsibility is ever more prevalent, ISO 14001 is a tried and tested approach for demonstrating commitment to reducing environmental impact. We wear our certification with pride.

The standard focuses on proactive management and employee involvement in defining roles related to the environmental policy. The improved processes we have implemented lead to more consistent delivery, fewer errors and less costly re-work. We also use fewer raw materials, energy and therefore produce less waste.

In addition, ISO 14001 is designed to be compatible with other popular standards such as ISO 9001.

BS EN 1335 specifies mechanical test methods for determining the stability, strength and durability of office work chairs. It does not specify type approval tests for chair components. The standard EN 1335 ensures the specified dimensions, safety requirements and test criteria are accurate. This includes, for example, the size of the seat, rolling resistance and much more.
The tests are designed to be applied to an article of furniture that is fully assembled and ready for use.
